Who here is buying all these 60-70 dollar HDMI cables?

[HookersandIceCream]

The two aren't analogous. Beats has better sound compared to cheaper headphones(from what I'm told, I don't own one). Then there's the status symbol that you must account for - it's a brand name.

HDMI cables on the other hand - its already been proven here and elsewhere that cheaper(or I should say, accurately priced) HDMI cables give you equal performance versus the expensive ones. And second, there is no status symbol associated with owning expensive HDMI cables. No broad is checking your cables for brand names - no one gives a sh1t. It's a dumb purchase.

Guess who manufactures them dumbass

They got me and I can admit it. When I got my new tv it runs on 240 hz. Well I had him when he tried to sell me on a monster cable. I was like naaaaah they the same as the cheap ones.

Then he was like yea but that's for 120 hz tv. See here.... *shows me how the cheap one said 120 and the rocket fish said "works with 240hz" so I copped one. It was only like 30 but now I see the cheap ones saying 240hz too.

haha, ok I get you now. I am an idiot. Interesting that they also make those expensive cables though - even more evidence that they're swindling consumers.

Copped this one a few years back.

AudioQuest - Coffee 6.6' HDMI Cable - Brown/Black - 65-081-03

Turned my 17" Black & White JVC into 1080p 4D.

Just goes to show who makes pennies

Those $60 cables provide better quality picture and are more doorable.

Rocketfish for the win

Bro now you know you gotta show us a photo of your set-up. That must be legendary man-cave status.

He wont. It's pretty clear he tried to sneak an elephant sized past us.

I got mine, Monster brand, for 12 at Ross. Came with a cleaner spray and cloth, too.

I bought them when I was building my home theater system. My equipment ran me nearly 15 grand so WTF do I look like buying frail 99 cent monoprice cables when im dealing with high end electronics?

If you have one of those cheap theatre in a box joints, then enjoy your cheap cables fam. When you're ready to upgrade your hardware then holler at me.

That's the Home Entertainment Thread. Drop some pics of this 15K setup, we're dying to see this.

I know I am.

If its not gold plated you won't get true hd

I remember I got conned from best buy when I bought my iPod years ago how the guy told me if I don't buy a wall charger it won't charge 100 percent

 

[diggy]

my friend's dad bought him a 60 inch 3d aquos for a housewarming gift with a 3d bluray

he fell for the "speed for 3d" jargon


I hooked up my ps3 to his tv with my 1st gen monoprice cable,,,saw no difference in quality at all...he tried to say there was some difference...not a damn thing

 

[CSquare43]

Another vote for Monoprice.

The other thing that is ridiculously priced are TV wall mounts. Them things are $70+ at stores (at best) and are $20+ through Monoprice...

I used to buy them in bulk through Mono and then sell them off on CL's and double my money...
